A Heart Needs a Home (Alternate Take) lyrics
by Richard Thompson
[Verse 1]
I know the way
That I feel about you
I'm never gonna run away
I'm never gonna run away
Never knew the way
When I lived without you
I'm never gonna run away
I'm never gonna run away
I came to you when no one could hear me
I'm sick and weary of being alone
Empty streets and hungry faces
The world's no place when you're on your own
A heart needs a home
[Verse 2]
Some people say
That I should forget you
But I'm never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna be a fool
Better life, they say
If I'd never met you
But I'm never gonna be a fool
No I'm never gonna be a fool
Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers
Indian givers, hearts of stone
Paper ships and painted faces
The world's no place when you're on your own
A heart needs a home
